Knowledge of God and a virtuous life is the solution to all of life's problems. Mother Teresa understood this all too well.

If we started supporting those companies who did the most good in the world - polluting less, helping more - that trend would then spread to other corporations at a faster pace.

Hopefully the world will, over time, experience a shift in consciousness to address these problems within corporations and governments, as well as through our individual efforts.

I'm overwhelmed. I want to do something... anything... about everything. I want to help end world hunger, stop the melting of the ice caps, end violence against women (against gays, against religions, against all persecuted people), put an end to childhood obesity, cure cancer, find homes for the homeless and unwanted pets. Today alone I donated to three charities: a bike ride for a pit bull rescue, a marathon to cure cancer and another event to help Haiti. Will my little contributions to each make a difference to any? Probably not. What is the underlying cause of all these challenges? Beats me. They all seem to come from different directions. I could say, "Why can't we just all get along?" but that is not realistic when we're dealing with so many cultures, so many humans.

People don't see it as supporting a business, their practices and how they treat their employees. It's "too much" for people to think about these things. I think to the way to solve this issue is to do the research and share information that we come across.

It's no guarantee for success, but overall education serves to move countries forward.
